'A Message to Garcia'

I believe that 'A Message to Garcia' relates to my high school career because it shows what it takes for high school. Honeslty, from what I can say, is that tonight is a good example of the message the essay is trying to portray, because I was really stressed out because of all the homework that was assinged for me tonight. I also had a soccer game, which I was exausted from. But here I am, typing out this essay at eleven o'clock. I could've not completed the task, and use that I wasn't at the full class as an excuse. But, I didn't I perservered through my homework, and finally got it done on time. That is what I call taking inititative, that is hard work, that shows how much I care for school. In high school, life will be like this, you can't shy away from it or you will not succeed. For those who do take initative, pay attention in class, and get homework turned in on time. I'm happy that I am one of those people, I want to be a leader, not a follower. It is my second day of freshman year, and I already feel stressed out. That's how you know that your working hard to get that grade you've always wanted. Like the essay said, there are people who can deliever the message to Garcia, and those who can't. And I will remember and charish this night and everynight, because I will be doing schoolwork, I won't be playing videogames or sleeping too early. No I will stay up all night if I have to get my homework done. I all in all, love staying up late to do homework, because it truly shows me how strong I am. I am comitted to succeed in all four years of being a patriot...
